WOW!
This is a freaking AWESOME show!
Without a doubt the best "angmoh" horror movie I've ever seen. I didn't know the westerners could create such a high standard horror flick. Definitely one of the best horror movie I've seen in recent years...
It's a horror movie with a "comedic effect". Yeah. I know most people would be turned off immediately upon hearing that. But trust me, it's done so well that I believe it has broken through the "comedy + horror = bad movie" stereotype.
It is far from being the scariest horror, but it is definitely one of the most entertaining. Think of it as like "90% horror with 10% comedic".
Don't be fooled though. This film is still mainly horror, and it WILL still scare the crap out of you.
It is very hard to put it into words, but this movie can make you tremble while you're laughing, startle you while you're still laughing at the previous joke. It's that awesome.
The story picks up almost immediately from the start...
Within 10 minutes you are introduced to all the major characters and you feel the connection with the main character; her problems, her background, etc...
And then...
Everything starts. And once it starts, it never stops till the credit rolls...
The sound effects are great (in fact, it's what make this movie so good). The plot is one of the better ones (mythology in modern setting) for a horror genre. You can connect immediately with the characters and the plot just flows very well.
There's really almost nothing I can criticize about it.
Some parts will really make you go "WTH" though. Like... mysterious house... all the spooky stuff... scary music... and then suddenly it converts to an entirely different setting. And the next moment you are treated with some very gory "eye-candy"...
You either like it or you don't. Some people won't like the mythology mixed with modern setting plot either...
Bottom line, I really enjoyed the entire 100 minutes of this film.
Highly recommend it to everyone!!!
Note: I may have given this movie a little too high, but this is perhaps due to my incredible experience at the cinema. All the audience were entirely into the movie, and everyone was like screaming/laughing together. So it was really great. So, it really can be a little bias.
Rating: 4.5 / 5
(Ups for the breakthrough, Horror mix Comedy awesomeness in a way I never thought possible.)
